Preventing Fire Damage with Dryer Vent Cleaning!

12/28/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford provides more than fire and water damage cleanup!  We also provide a variety of cleaning services such as dryer vent cleaning!

When dirt and lint significantly builds up in your dryer, this can potentially lead to a fire.  Our team strives to help homes and businesses prevent fire damage from occurring in the first place by providing this cleaning necessity to the community!  We often offer this service when we perform duct cleaning for a property.

Dryer vents should be cleaned annually, but this can also depend on how much you use the system or if you have pets in your home since that pet hair will build up much faster.  Commercial laundromats may need this service more frequently as well.  Should you become frustrated by how long it takes to fully dry your clothes, this could be a sign that a dryer vent cleaning is needed.  Another sign of a dryer issue is when clothes are hot to the touch once the cycle is complete.

Should you need a dryer vent cleaning, our cleaning professionals at SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford can remove the buildup to help unclog your system.  Once the excess lint, pet hair or dirt is removed, please remember to continue to remove the lint after each cycle and look for any additional signs of dryer failure.

Should fire damage occur due to a buildup, our restoration team can help with that as well!  Our IICRC cleaning and restoration procedures allow us to help restore a property to preloss conditions with little to no downtime for those involved!  Give us a call to learn more about how we can assist you with your particular cleaning or fire damage needs!
